Denkey Saves Cincinnati in Thriller | MLS News

FC Cincinnati and Charlotte FC delivered a heart-pounding 3-3 thriller that went to the wire, with Kevin Denkey emerging as the hero in stoppage time to snatch a crucial point. Pavel Bucha opened the scoring early for Cincinnati, but Charlotte responded with goals from Liel Abada, Pep Biel, and Idan Toklomati. Despite Abada’s first-half injury, Rodolfo Aloko stepped up with an assist, while Kristijan Kahlina stood tall with six saves. The draw marks a rare bright spot for Cincinnati, who’ve gone winless in four games and were outscored 9-0 in their last two. Denkey’s brace — including a dramatic volley off a corner — brings his season total to 12, his first since late July. A stark contrast to their May meeting, this gritty, back-and-forth battle leaves both teams with one point, fueling momentum after a tough stretch for Cincinnati.
